Stuck Moyles misses breakfast show

Chris Moyles was forced to miss his Radio 1 breakfast show after finding himself unable to return from New York because of the air travel chaos.

The presenter was said to be “gutted” that he could not get back, and station bosses drafted in replacement Scott Mills to cover on Monday morning.

A number of stars have found their travel plans disrupted by the grounding of flights due to the ash problems.

Chris told fans he would be off air by simply posting the word “stuck” on his Twitter feed.

The presenter said there was a camaraderie among stranded Brits in New York.

“It’s weird because life is going on as normal here, just like at home. It’s quite nice in a way ‘cos loads of British people are bonding over the fact that we’re all stuck here together.”

Others whose movements have been affected include Heather Mills, who has been stranded in Austria following a skiing holiday.

And Miley Cyrus and her Australian co-star Liam Hemsworth will not be attending the European premiere of new film The Last Song in London on Tuesday.

The Coachella festival in California was also affected, with British acts The Cribs, Frightened Rabbit, Delphic and Bernard Sumner’s band Bad Lieutenant all being forced to pull out. Bernard said in a statement: “This is a situation out of everyone’s control, and we are crushed that we won’t be coming to America.”

Mika was forced to postpone a gig in Lisbon after being stranded in Paris, but Whitney Houston made it to her gig in Dublin after catching a ferry to Ireland.
